errno is checked throughout the original code, including this slightly modified
piece. Should I remove those checks or keep them for the sake of future errno
support?

I've merely replaced `fflush(stdout)` with `console_flush()` (see the original:
https://github.com/pmamonov/barebox/blob/31fd9d18f37ed58e5e559fe2ad6686066966f86e/commands/memtester/memtester.c#L374).
I choosed to keep all those (excessive) flushes as is, since most of the output
is a progress indicator which should be displayed immediately and I wasn't sure
that some type of barebox console won't cache the output.
PS Will address other comments in the next patch.
